My son just started going this year. I see a big change in his behavior and grades just within a few months. Public schools still are not back to normal however MSEO is doing everything to be normal.

This schoolh been such a wonderful place for my children to learn. The teachers are kind, caring, and thoughtful, and the Montessori curriculum allows for students to progress at their own pace, which means my boys have time to spend on the challenging topics and aren't held back when something is easy for them either. We first came to MSEO for the 2016-2017 school year, and then returned in 2018 after a brief stint in the Middle East. This school was a place of constancy for my kids with a good structure and routine. The owner has also been one of the kindest people evertever our children. She

We're so happy we found this gem in East Orlando. My kids love going to school every day which is huge. The teachers make an individual bond with each student which cannot go unnoticed. My daughters social skills have improved tremendously, she has so much confidence and we owe it all to Montessori of East Orlando. I can't imagine having them in a different school (I'm sure they can't either) they have adapted so well and their educational progress amazes me every single day. 10/10 recommend. I feel at ease sending my kids back to MSEO knowing that they go above and beyond for not only the education

We moved from Europe 5 years ago and have been mega happy with the school, our kids love everything about Montessori and they feel like home. The preparation and expertise of each teacher makes the school be one of the best in the whole area and most of the kids that leave go to gifted classes in other schools, they learn at their own peace and they get to touch, see and feel what theyre learning. Everything is
hands on. They focus only on the kids and their development. Best choice we have made.

Honestly, I could not ask for a better staff and school. My kids love the school, they return back home and they tell my wife and I what they did or learned. The Montessori educational system its by far the best method I have seen yet. Kids seem to pick it up quickly and they enjoy it. I would recommend the school to any family.
